johnny winter - ain t nothing to me

Take your drink to the end of the bar, buddy
Come on now don't be a fool
I'd rather have the hot seat in Sing-Sing Prison
Then to sit down by her on the stool

What's that ya say
Well I guess you're right
It ain't nothing to me
Nothing to me

[Instrumental]

See that man, she belongs to him, buddy
Drink up and leave while you can
I can tell by the way he looks at you, buddy
He sure a quick-tempered, jealous man

What's that ya say
Well I guess you're right
It ain't nothing to me
Nothing to me

[Instrumental]

There ya are stretched out on the floor, buddy
Ya see what you made him do
They're coming to take him to the jail, buddy
And tomorrow someone will bury you

Ah well, that's life
Ah, I wished it was
It ain't nothing to me

Ain't nothing to me
(It ain't nothing to me)
Ain't nothing to me

johnny winter - highway 61 revisited

Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God say, "No."
Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but now
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done?"
God says, "Out on Highway 61."
Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose
Welfare Department they wouldn't give him no clothes
He asked poor Howard where can I go
Howard said there's only one place I know
Sam said tell me quick man
I got to run
0l' Howard just pointed with his gun
And said that way down on Highway 61.
Well Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
I got forty red white and blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that don't ring
Do you know where I can get rid of these things
And Louie the King said let me think for a minute son
And he said yes I think it can be easily done
Just take everything down to Highway 61.
Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the first father that things weren't right
My complexion she said is much too white
He said come here and step
Into the light he says hmm you're right
Let me tell the second mother this has been done
But the second mother was with the seventh son
And they were both out on Highway 61.
Now the rovin' gambler he was very bored
He was tryin' to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes I think it can be very easily done
We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun
And have it on Highway 61.

johnny winter - i smell smoke

I smell smoke
You must be burning me behind my back
I smell smoke
You must be burning me behind my back
I can't see the fire,
but I feel the flame
I found the man spark
in another man's name, oh yeah!

Just before you spoke
I smell smoke

What can a man do?
When a good girl turns to bad
What can a man do?
When he's lost everything he ever had
I can't feel the heat,
but I'm seeing in your eyes
When we're talkin over
all I get these lies, oh yeah!

Baby it's no joke
I smell smoke

There's a heavy price
that I have to pay
working for you
every night and day
Deep in the night
when I turn to you
I feel my worst fears
have come true

I smell smoke
when you think you're alone
and nobody is looking, yeah...

I smell smoke
in the middle of the night
and I know nobody is cooking, yeah...

You can play you down
hide it with perfume
I smell something burning
and you're walking through, oh yeah!

Baby it's no joke
I smell smoke

Oh yeah!

Baby it's no joke
I smell smoke

johnny winter - walking through the park

I'm goin' out walkin',
walking down through the park
I'm gonna walk in the moonlight,
till the night gets dark

I'm goin' out walkin',
along the old avenue
I'm gonna walk for so long,
till she won't know what to do

I'm goin' out walkin',
walkin' down along the street
I'm gonna walk her along beside me,
that girl can't be beat

Don't you bother my baby,
no tellin' what she'll do
The girl she may cut you,
she may shoot you too

johnny winter - ain t that kindness

It had rained for 3 days straight
But the sun was beginning to shine
Two riders were approachin'
But they were no friends of mine.

Called out for Hanna
And I kept here close to my side
Whistled for old Thunder
And my horse he was ready to ride

I give you everything I had babe
Ain't that kindness
I give you the good with the bad babe
Ain't that kindness
Don't cha know I give you my love when say babe
Ain't that kindness
Hmmm ya know a man ain't nothing without his gun
Ya know a man ain't nothing without his gun

Took to the road 6 night and days
Only then did we think it was safe

Heard the sound of 2 men approachin'
But they did not hesitate

Hanna she was cryin'
But she wouldn't let go of my leg
Thunder he was tired
Been a thinkin' of a better day

I give you everything I had babe
Ain't that kindness
I give you the good with the bad babe
Ain't that kindness
Don't cha know I give you my love when say babe
Ain't that kindness
Hmmm ya know a man ain't nothing without his gun
Ya know a man ain't nothing without his gun

Two shots fired and two figures fell
There was blood flowin' over the ground
Two men dead in the noon day sun
And they never ever made a sound

Hanna she never forgave me
And I think I know the reason why
When I called out for Thunder
The horse he up and died.

I give you everything I had babe
Ain't that kindness
I give you the good with the bad babe
Ain't that kindness
Don't cha know I give you my love when say babe
Ain't that kindness
Hmmm ya know a man ain't nothing without his gun
Ya know a man ain't nothing without his gun
Ya know a man ain't nothing without his gun

johnny winter - anything for your love

God's got a plan
He's makin' it clear
Sweet little love song
In your ear
Like hearts made of diamond
Love will prevail
Put a little wind in your sail

I'd do anything, anything
You could dream of
I'd do anything, anything
For your love
For your love

Listen now baby
I gotta tell you true
Just how much that
I love you
I got a sweet feeling
I know is real
This kind of love
You can't conceal

I'd do anything, anything
You could dream of
I'd do anything, anything
For your love
For your love

johnny winter - avocado green

Gentlemen and ladies
Please listen to me
She's gone this time for good now
That's not where she's supposed to be

The greyhound man he took her
To where she can't be seen
Am i gonna need her?
Is an avocado green?

Sure you say i should face it
But the wound is open wide
And it's really hard to replace it
When she's the only thing i've ever tried

Several of my two friends
Wrote to me about how
They seen ya out with bookends
How many can you take on now?

I got the police ridin'
Around and in between
Were you safely hidin'
As an avocado green?

Matter of factly speakin'
I'm suffering but please don't tell
At lunch i was caught sneakin'
To get a drink at the big blue inkwell

But tomorrow i can kick it
For my horoscope plainly reveals
I'm gonna inherit a fortune
But not to spend it on an african seal

Well baby, you're not with me
And didn't wanna be mean
But do they call it envy
If an avocado's green?

johnny winter - baby what you want me to do

You got me running
You got me hiding
You got me run hide, hide run
Anyway you want to let it roll
Yeah, yeah, yeah

johnny winter - back door friend

Every married woman, I believe
Has to have some backdoor friend
Every married woman, you know,
She has some backdoor friend
When you are gone, yeah darlin'
He comes slippin' in
Ain't no married woman that's gonna
Treat nobody right,
Ain't no married woman that's gonna
Treat nobody right
She lay around with a cute man all day
And's pretty sick of her husband at night
You know you make it to your house
Knock on your front door
Run around the back, I'll believe
You'll catch him there
Just before he goes 'round the corner
Every married woman, you know,
Has some backdoor friend
You know when you walk out
Yeah, man, he comes slippin' in

johnny winter - bad girl blues

These women loving each other,
you know they ain't thinkin' about no man
They ain't keepin' secrets no more,
they playing a wide open hand

I saw a little girl the other day,
I asked her for a little thrill
She said I'm so sorry daddy,
but I'm puttin' out the same thing you is

I took the woman out ridin',
bought her all kinds of whiskey and wine
I guess I was too drunk to realize,
she say I'll see you some other time

The woman gets all dressed up to boogie,
goes out smelling sweet like a rose
Comes home 5 o'clock in the mornin',
with that fish scent on her clothes

johnny winter - bad luck and trouble

I feel that bad luck and trouble
Is all that joy brings
Seems like bad luck and trouble
Is all that joy brings
With my bad luck with me
Lord my troubles begin
Remember this old highway
Ever since I was a child
Nobody seen a woman
Nobody seen a kid
Bad luck and trouble
Man is all that joy brings
With my bad luck with me
Then my troubles just begin
Lord I'm sitting down here thinking
Man I'm a long, long way from home
Just sitting down here thinking
Man I'm a long, long way from home
Think about all my good times
Lord and the friends I once have known
Ain't never hurt nobody
Never done nobody wrong
Lotta people won't accept me they say
I'm sitting down here thinking
Man I'm a long, long way from home
Think about all my good times
Man and the friends I once have known
Man it ain't anybody else's troubles
I ain't gonna tell nobody else
Nobody else's troubles
Man I ain't gonna tell nobody else
The lone life I'm living baby
Gonna make it by myself

johnny winter - bad luck situation

Yeah, woo
The full moon, it is rising
and the rain is falling down
Looking for my woman
but she ain't nowhere around
Woohoo

She in a bad luck situation
'cause she treat me so unkind

but tomorrow you could be dying,
Yeah

Uhh, woo, alright, oww

johnny winter - barefootin

Everybody get on your feet
You make me nervous when you're in your seat
Take off your shoes and move your feet
We're doing a dance that can't be beat

We're barefootin', we're barefootin'
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'

Went to a party the other night
Long tall Sally was outta sight
Took off her wig and her high heel sneakers too
She was doing the dance without any shoes

She was barefootin', she was barefootin'
Yeah, uh-huh, she was barefootin'

Hey little girl with your red dress on
Heard you could barefoot all night long
Take off your shoes and throw 'em away
Come back and get 'em another day

Barefootin', barefootin'
Get barefooted, yeah barefootin'

Take off you shoes!

[Instrumental]

Little John Henry said to Sue
If I barefoot, would you barefoot too?
Sue said "John, I'll stir your stew
Been barefootin' ever since I was two"

I was barefootin', barefootin'
Oh ho, I was barefootin'

Barefootin', barefootin'
Oh yeah, barefootin'

Till he hurt you to your heart

You know, I'd-a walk the streets a-late at night
Used to cry about ya

To forgive me for my sin
